Was John Lennon a poet

Answer 1

Yes. Several of Lennon's poems were included in In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works. In the movie Help!, Lennon can be heard reciting part of "I Sat Belonely" to Ringo Starr.

Answer 2

John Lennon did write poetry, so I suppose that makes him a poet, but he was mainly a musician.
